Or maybe just the one site that gets hammered by bots will be deleted or converted to a static site.

Either bots, or almost all the humans block Jetpack. Either way, not worth paying for.

But paying for WordPress.com is really not worth it, that’s $7 a month for the cheapest plan, if you want to use your own domain. This server is only $12.50 a month. A one time fee to use a custom domain might be worth it, but not $7 per month.

Not all the sites are back, thanks to slow ass DNS. But you can edit /etc/hosts, that’s what I did temporally to access CyberPanel. Maybe the DNS will be updated tomorrow. If not, that’ll keep the server fast, if the bot’s DNS doesn’t resolve it.
